This is the forum thread for the running and writing project that I'm calling 100 Running Words. If you would like to be part of this project, here's what you do:

Do a run, walk or run/walk - it can be any distance you like, and somewhere you know well or somewhere new (just make sure it's safe - no airport runways, minefields etc - apply the rules of Fetchpoint)
Take a photo that represents your run/walk
Write a blog post about your experience that's exactly 100 words long (not 99 or 101 - exactly 100)

Include your photo in your blog post and if you like, add a map of your route
Include 100 Running Words in your blog title
When you've published it, come and tell us on this thread.

I've set the 100 word limit to make this a bit different from just the usual blogs and to really encourage you to think about the words you use. How you use that limit is up to you. You can make it a poem, a series of haiku, knock knock jokes - whatever you like. It just has to be 100 words exactly. So you may find it helpful to write it elsewhere first, do some editing and a word count.

Is there a time limit and can you only do it once?

Deadline? Time limit? Let's say no for now and it will probably run a natural course. I'll review once it gets going.

And I don't see why you couldn't do more than one.
